From firefighting to handled.
- 01
Assessment
We walk through your computers, network, email, backups and who has access to what. You get a plain-English list of what's fine, what's risky and what we'd fix first.
- 02
Cleanup
Monitoring goes on every machine, the urgent problems get fixed, passwords and settings get documented, and everything lands on the same update schedule.
- 03
Handled
Monthly maintenance, security and help desk from then on. You call when you need something. Most months, the best news is that nothing happened.
Plain English
We speak human.
IT is full of acronyms that make simple things sound complicated. When we tell you what's wrong, what we fixed or what we recommend, you'll understand it without a dictionary.
Tap any underlined term on this site to see what it means in plain English.
Try one:
MFA (multi-factor authentication)
A second check after your password, usually a code or a tap on your phone, so a stolen password alone can't get someone in.

What does a managed IT plan include?
Monitoring and maintenance for your computers and servers, security, updates, help desk, onsite visits when needed and handling your tech vendors. We tailor the plan after a free assessment.
